Noah's Lost Ark is a nonprofit sanctuary for animals who either have been abused or are unwanted…read more Some species of the animals are endangered or threatened. Animals include lions, tigers, bears, turtles, goats, horses, cougars, leopards, servals, foxes, macaques, etcetera. The sanctuary relies on admission fees and charitable donations to provide housing, food, and veterinary care for these animals. Hours vary by season, and admission prices vary by people's age. Currently, the admission price is $15 per adult, and children cost less. Food such as crackers can be purchased in the gift shop and fed to some animals. The website contains a wish list of many items that people can donate. I visited this sanctuary on a Monday afternoon. Most of the animals' enclosures were fairly spacious. I saw an emu who had deformed legs, horses who could not see, a deer who had cancerous tumors, and so on. I feel happy to know that these animals have a home to live out the rest of their lives, and I encourage other people to visit and financially support this sanctuary.

This place is AMAZING!!!…read more The store is huge and spacious and smells literally sweet! Why? Because they have syrup!! They offer sweat shirts to calendars! They have a blind cat that wonders the store (it does scratch but will brush up against your leg. Prices are reasonable 10 for adults 7 for kids You walk out into the yard and are greeted by bunnies and fish and swans and live stock all friendly! Then comes the menagerie of wild animals. The whole grounds do go quickly, but I guarantee you'll have fun! Some of the fenced areas have some undergrowth that makes seeing animals hard (I was a little upset about that) bc you want to be able to see them but the brambles and upgrowth makes it hard. Wild beasties are gorgeous and vocal and fun to watch weather they are rolling in the grass or taking a dip in their pools. It's my birthday and I literally had a day and experience I'll always treasure!

We had the absolute BEST time at Funtimes Fun Park! We came with some cousins and it was easily one…read moreof our favorite outings ever. We had a mix of boys and girls ranging in age from 5 to 11, and it was amazing to see how every single one of them equally loved it! We were there in the winter and it felt like we practically had the place to ourselves. The variety of things to do kept everyone entertained--we went snow tubing, played a ton of games in the arcade, bumped cars (that even my 5 year old was tall enough to drive alone and she was absolutely thrilled!), rode the rides, and even had a blast dancing. The 'paintball' (the little gel beads) was such a hit with the kids, and we ended the day perfectly by roasting marshmallows by the fire. I was shocked at how inexpensive it was for our family of 4 to have 3 hours of uninterrupted nonstop fun! What really stood out was the atmosphere. You can tell that whoever runs this place truly cares about it. It's so well-maintained, and honestly, the bathrooms were incredibly clean!!!! This was a huge deal for us because we drove an hour and a half to get there--we needed a clean spot to change everyone into snow pants when we arrived and back into regular clothes before the long drive home. It made the whole trip so much smoother! Every single staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. A special shout-out to the lady working the concession stand--she gave each kid a different patterned cup so we could keep track of whose was whose! Little details like that really went a long way with me. You can tell the staff takes real pride in the guest experience. We had the best time ever and are already planning our next trip. We will definitely be back this winter, and we can't wait to come back in the summer! Highly recommend for families!

This is my family's 4th time here since summer 2024. We make the 50 minute drive and go on…read moreThursdays from 5-8 and it is only $15.99 per person. The special ends on August 14TH. If you aren't going to ride, it is free. My boys ages 9 and 16, my nephew age 13, and my niece age 6 always have a blast. From 5-6, they do the water slides since they close at 6. From 6-8, they do everything else in the park. There is a mini roller coaster, bumper cars, go karts, the infamous tilt a whirl, mini golf, a batting cage, an arcade and so forth. For the price of $16, you can't beat it! We have local places back home and they cost more than $16 just to ride the go karts twice. Last summer, I wrote a review about the grounds not being handicap friendly because it was all gravel. Well to my surprise, they paved the grounds so now handicap individuals can also attend with family and friends. You don't have to wait in long lines like you would at a local city fest/carnival, state fair, or themed amusement park. No outside food or drink is allowed. There is a small concession stand that sells water, pop, pretzels, nachos, pizza, etc. The 2 vending machines located by the go karts are still out of order. Instead of buying a 65 cent can of pop from the machine you must pay $3.00 for a bottle at the concession stand. On my last visit in June, I mentioned the machines being out of order but they still are inoperable. I guess I will call the vendor myself because $3.00 for a bottle of water is ridiculous. The manager Christine is very friendly. She found my iPhone magnetic charger that I left at the entrance when purchasing wristbands. They have lockers for 50 cent where you can place your personal belongings. Overall, the kids had fun and it didn't break my pockets so that's all that matters. I don't know what people expect for such a minimal price! I guess you can't please everyone.

My son and I booked a 4.5hr Mine Tour and all I can say is that it did not disappoint…read more Starting from the time we arrive at 9am, the lady at the counter got us checked in and handed us slips to fill out for lunch in which we pick what we want from a list. The lunch was provided by their onsite food truck guys in the parking lot, "Your Momma's Kitchen" which had very good food. Burgers/Fries/Chicken sandwiches were the norm. Moving on to outside, Scott got us fitted for helmets and goggles and had us pick our machine, we chose the 2-seater model and got settled. There were 5 rentals in our tour that day, (2) 2-seaters and (3) 4-seaters, plus Scott in the lead. After getting everyone outfitted, Scott got us all together and gave a quick rundown of what we were going to do, what to expect, as well as a quick safety brief. He asked everyone on the tour what their experience level was and talked with us all about the machines. The tour was off and going up, down, and through the hills was completely awesome. It had rained the night before so the trails were just right for slipping, sliding, and having great fun. Luckily, we wore rain gear for the trip, and I will tell you this: I will take mud on the clothes over eating dust all day. The rain was a welcome addition to the trails for us. Over the course of the trip, Scott would stop the tour, provide water or bathroom breaks, and give us history about the place. It was just a few minutes each time, but it was a welcome break. The Mine Tour came after lunch. We all lined up and drove through after Scott. It is surprisingly cool in there, 55 degrees no matter the temp outside he said. We stopped halfway through the tour inside the mine, gathered all the units together and we shut off all the lights.... complete and utter darkness all around. He kept talking through it, giving us some history on the mine and how far in we were. Luckily the lights went on before anyone really freaked out and we got on our way. Getting back to base, we posed for pics and thanked everyone. You leave your dirty helmets on a bench and walk away from your mud-covered machine; they clean it all for you. We washed our boots and took off our rain gear, we were good to go for the car ride back. All in all, we would totally do this again. We were in from California and this was a great way to spend half a day in the hills; tearing ass through the mud, gassing it up the hills and ripping through water puddles. The trails are pretty well maintained; some have ruts but most do not. Heck, what do you expect with 100 people a day riding and tearing it up? Good water spots to go through, some good long straightaways to get up some speed, and hairpin turns to slow you down. We didn't hit any jumps that day; that's probably a different insurance form to fill out. LOL Things to bring: - Riding attire/gloves or a change of clothes. You will get muddy. - Phone for pics and music. The side by sides have Bluetooth, so if you want to listen to music as you tear through the hills, it's available. The music is nice for a bit, but hearing that engine rev up as you run up a hill is music to my ears. - A rag or cloth to clean your goggles; they get pretty muddy - GoPro with mount if you want to record your adventure. All in all, it's a must for me if I ever return to Pennsylvania. They were professional, in good communication before and after the tour, and to me, well worth the money. Scott (our guide) really made the trip what it was for us. His attitude was awesome, and he obviously loves his job. Thank you Scott for a great day!
